Atlanta to hire the 1st NBA Euro coach?

[lefty]

Y! Sources: The Atlanta Hawks are strongly considering the hiring of the NBA's first European head coach. http://yhoo.it/11IZlHE

With all the Euro players in the NBA, it's about time a Euro coach is hired. They are under-represented.

[Latarian Milton]

raptors or wolves should hire an european coach before anyone imho

Messina is a very accomplished coach,but imho he is not on the level of Ivcovic/Obradovic.. He is a Mike Brown with somewhat of an offensive system.

If those egomaniac NBA players let themselves be coached by someone they don't know, this could be a good move, tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

well those existing prima donnas better get use to it if they wanna stay employed and keep the brothers employed or else owners would go the cheap route and get the best from europe to fill those empty spots

This is good news for the NBA fans. You never know what kind of ideas euro coaches can bring.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Messina and Blatt would do well in the NBA, imo. Better than at least half of the current coaches out here.

Euro coaches don't mess around. No superstar treatment there.
